I agree with your entire rant however I'd like to point out just something you missed or simply did not know. I parcored passed every Level ?? enemy in the Beta on both earth & The Moon, they weren't guarding other places really. It always lead in a circle or to a closed door or to a loot of sorts.

There was closed doors in the area where you do the strike called King's Watch. Nobody could get in there.

I saw on youtube that someone opened locked doors on the moon just by using their ghost.

This is different though. I tried that and it didn't let me in, but I'm pretty sure we'll be able to go in once the game launches.

I wonder how hard it would be to un-loop an area. If there is actually some place beyond those; how difficult would it be to loop a map around and drop some unbeatables in the path as an added deterrent? Then un-loop the map and remove the unbeatables. Seems doable and entirely possible But I truly do not know enough about game development to know for sure.
